DENMARK SWEDEN AND NORWAY TO FUND U.S. WEAPONS
Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are jointly supporting a new NATO initiative called the Prioritized Ukraine Requirement List (PURL), aimed at delivering high-demand U.S. weapons to Ukraine.
Troels Lund Poulsen, Danish Defence Minister, stated:
“This new initiative on American weapons for Ukraine will be an important
element in Ukraine’s defence against Russia’s full scale invasion. Ukraine is
under high pressure, especially from Russian air attacks, and needs further
military support now. Therefore, it is positive that American weapons
deliveries are made possible. Since the beginning of the war, Denmark has stood
firmly with Ukraine, and we will continue to do so. Together with Sweden and
Norway, the Danish government fully supports the new American initiative. It is
crucial for Ukraine’s ability to defend itself that we continue to ensure transatlantic
cooperation in support of Ukraine."
“Denmark has for a long time taken the lead in supporting Ukraine to strengthen the country’s position and contribute to Europe taking responsibility for increased military support. With Denmark financing military support together with Norway and Sweden, we are providing Ukraine with highly prioritized weapons systems and once again emphasizing that the Scandinavian countries are close and reliable allies within NATO. At the same time, we help preserve and strengthen the transatlantic cooperation, which is central to our common defence.”
